A Soft Seat

Opa, bão??

This week had lots of slow days, but lots of good ones as well. On Thursday, we had a lesson with Pam. We were going to invite her to be baptized, but she beat us to it and told us she wanted to be baptized before we even asked her! We set a date for the 28th, but we are going to have to push that a ways back because she has some trials to overcome. She has Paranoia and was up for 2 days straight so she didn't make it to church. Also, she smokes. But, she really wants to put that all behind her and change. We are super excited to help her do that. Please pray for her to overcome those trials so she can be baptized and start on the path back to Heavenly Father.

The other thing that happened this week is we received a message on Facebook inviting us to meet a group of Christians at Panera bread. We had no idea what it was all about, so we went and met them outside Panera. When we got there, we saw 4 dudes carrying bibles. For a second we thought they were going to start bashing us, but we actually had a really civil conversation about our beliefs. We were able to clear up some confusion because they think we don't believe in the same Jesus. We should be meeting with them again within the next couple of weeks.

Spiritual Thought: Elder Bednar gave a devotional for the missionaries about receiving revelation. He talked about how sometimes we just have to be good, and go, and God will guide us to do what is right.

Things I like: we bought a couch chair off Facebook Marketplace (for super cheap...don't have anything soft to sit on in the apartment)! The guy lived just around the corner, so Elder Dixon Carried it home haha.

Things I hate: I struggle to put stuff in this section. I can't think of anything bad that happened
